Was the New England Colonies good or bad land? Why?

The land in the New England colonies were arguably very good land. The lands in this region were plentiful in the ability for early colonists to grow crops and to live. Also there was an abundance of access to rivers and the ocean which allowed for fishing and harvesting of fish and shellfish from the sea. The area was also navigable because of the rivers that connected the region. However, the winters in this region were harsh and cold, but overall the land was livable.
